If you want to understand the zeitgeist of the last decade,韓国ポルノ映画無修正 just scroll through FuckJerry's Instagram account — it's a growing archive of viral jokes and videos sourced from every corner of the internet. But social media users are over FuckJerry's unfair content stealing, and #FuckFuckJerry is working.
Comedians are leading the campaign to unfollow FuckJerry, a massive meme account and media giant that "curates" and reposts content from other creators. The account is run by Elliot Tebele and a team from Jerry Media, and since its creation in 2011 has gained a following of 14.3 million.

Jerry Media promoted Fyre Festival, and was enlisted in running its social media in the months leading up to the event. After the festival fell apart, the company produced a documentary about it in partnership with Netflix and Vice.
The Hulu and Netflix documentaries were released within days of each other, and shortly after Vulture published an article pointing out that FuckJerry and Comedy Central were using other comedians' jokes as captions to advertise Comedy Central shows. The account has been using other people's bits for years, but it was "particularly egregious" that it was using stolen jokes to promote Broad City, Corporate, and The Other Two.
In addition to being a production and media company, FuckJerry also sells a meme-themed card game and a tequila. Vulture editor Megh Wright also tweeted a hefty thread asking Twitter users if they were paid for FuckJerry advertisements.

FuckJerry has been wildly successful — according to AdWeek, the company charged $30,000 for a single sponsored post in 2016. The Verge says "its following has nearly doubled since." Its critics are calling for people to unfollow it so it devalues the brand.
Since the Wright's thread went viral, the hashtag #FuckFuckJerry is gaining traction — even John Mulaney spoke out, calling it a "garbage account." A majority of the critics are comedians who say the company took advantage of them, and profited off their creativity.

Comedy Central pulled all of its ads from FuckJerry's account on Friday. In a statement to Vulture, a network spokesperson said, “We have no plans to advertise with Jerry Media in the future.”
The company has also been rapidly losing followers — on Saturday, Wright said 50,000 accounts have already unfollowed FuckJerry.

Responding to the backlash, FuckJerry promised to stop posting content without the original creator's permission. In a statement posted to Medium on Saturday, Tebele announced the policy change "following the renewed discussion on social media." Mashable tried to contact the company directly, but a spokesperson opted against speaking on the record and instead said to wait for Tebele's official statement.
In that statement, the FuckJerry founder wrote that although he's made a "concerted, proactive effort" to credit creators in the last few years, "it is clear that we need to do better."
Under the new policy, FuckJerry will only post screenshots with permission.
"Effective immediately, we will no longer post content when we cannot identify the creator, and will require the original creator’s advanced consent before publishing their content to our followers. It is clear that attribution is no longer sufficient, so permission will become the new policy."
As the social media landscape changes, we know our policies will have to continue to evolve, and we look forward to engaging with our followers and Instagram in conversations about these important issues.
FuckJerry hasn't clarified whether it would compensate creators for the jokes and content it already used in advertisements, and hasn't stated whether creators would be paid to be reposted.
"We want to apologize to anyone who feels we have wronged them in the past," Tebele apologized in the statement. "We want to do the right thing by creators by seeking permission and giving them the credit they deserve."
